3.5.3 Catching up on events

Event icons indicate recent events; the list of events in the info page of an object includes only recent events. Recent are those events related to an object that occurred after the latest  Catch up   action that affected this object.

  • Invoke  Catch up  
  • to indicate to BSCW that you have taken note of a set of events.

This means that for you these events are no longer 'recent'; BSCW will no longer show the respective event icons to you though they are still presented to other members who have not yet performed a 'Catch up' action covering this set of events.

You may selectively catch up on events of a particular category:

  • Click an object's event icon to display its list of recent events in this category;
  • In this page, click

All events actually shown in that list are no longer 'recent' for you. Any event that may have occurred while your Web browser displayed the event list still has 'recent' status and there will be an event icon indicating it.

Note:
When you have taken note of the events in a folder, perform a  File    Catch up   action. Else, there will be an increasing number of event icons in your folder pages and you will quickly lose overview of what happened in your workspaces.
